The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 376 Returning to Mother’s Home

Last time, we talked about how the witchcraft cult's poisonous insects got out of control, causing the Miao region to fall into crisis, and Li Yi took the initiative to take on the task of persuading the three major families to contribute money, manpower and manpower. So how will the story develop next? Let's take a look together.

After leaving Tianshuyuan, everyone was busy with their own things, but Li Yi was not in a hurry. After shopping at the market, he was about to go home, but he saw Tu Xiu's carriage. Without saying a word, he stopped the carriage in the road.

The carriage stopped suddenly and Tu Xiu almost fell out. He lifted the curtain and yelled, "You've had enough of your life!" But when he saw Li Yi trying to stop the carriage, he frowned and asked, "Doctor Wei, what do you mean by stopping my carriage in the middle of the road?"

"I would like to invite Master Tu to have a drink. I wonder if Master Tu would do me the honor?"

"Wei Le, if you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out of my way! A good dog doesn't block..."

Before Tu Xiu finished speaking, Li Yi pulled him back into the carriage and said to the driver, "Master Tu wants to go to my house for a drink, so let's go to Sangcan Lane first."

"Wei Le, I didn't promise you! I don't believe you dare to kill me like you killed Shu Tu! Don't worry about him, go back to the Washing Women's Division!"

This time, Li Yi grabbed Tu Xiu's neck and chuckled, "If Master Tu doesn't show favor, then I can only use force. I see that you care about your face, so you better be careful!"

As he spoke, the spirit feather arrow hit Tu Xiu's forehead. Li Yi smiled and said, "I am in the extraordinary realm, so I will naturally not attack mortals. But I am willing to scratch your face, especially the face of a fool like you."

"What is the second chair?"

"You don't need to know. Just tell me whether you have shame or not."

"I want!"

"Then let's go to Mulberry Alley!"

When they arrived at Li Yi's house and entered the courtyard, Li Yi shouted, "My wife, there are guests at home. Please prepare some wine and food."

"Guest, who is this?" Qu Xia came out of the silkworm room and saw Tu Xiu with a surprised look on her face, "Master Tu? Why did my husband invite Master Tu here?"

"Oh, we both work in the Tianshu Court, and there are things we don't understand, so we need to ask Master Tu for advice. Madam, go and prepare the wine and food."

"Okay, okay, I'll go. Lord Tu, my humble abode is simple, please forgive me. Please take a seat first, I'll go cook."

"It's not that troublesome. You can prepare the vegetarian dishes. Just buy ten kilograms of good mutton and cut it into small pieces and bring it over."

"My husband, are you planning to use this mutton to entertain Mr. Tu?"

"My lady, just do as I say, but the wine has to be good."

Qu Xia followed Li Yi's instructions and soon took out the cut mutton. On the other side, Li Yi had already prepared bamboo sticks and asked Tu Xiu to skewer the meat together. Tu Xiu was reluctant at first, but under the threat of Li the big gangster, he had no choice but to do it. The two chatted while skewering the mutton.

Li Yi looked at the talisman on Tu Xiu's arm and asked, "Although I have seen wizards carve talismans on their bodies, this is the first time I have seen a wizard carve talismans all over his body. What's wrong with you?"

Tu Xiu rolled his eyes at Li Yi and said, "This is my Jiuli secret method. Why should I tell you?"

"The Jiuli tribe, the descendants of Chiyou, submitted to the descendants of Youxiong clan Huangdi. This is fate playing tricks on us."

"It's true that I'm a descendant of Chi You, but the Youxiong clan was also forced to leave the Central Plains because they failed in the struggle for power. The royal family of Chu is the Xiong clan with the surname Mi. The Mi clan is the descendant of the Zhurong clan, and the Zhurong clan is the descendant of the Yan Emperor, who was also defeated by the Yellow Emperor."

"Oh, it turns out that the enemies of the Yellow Emperor are uniting to return to the Central Plains."

"Humph, your First Saint inheritance, didn't Heng Yi also come to Chu? If we talk about orthodoxy, why didn't you go to Nanliang?"

"Xiao Liang is only the orthodox Confucianism and Taoism, and Chu Sheng is not the founder of Confucianism and Taoism, what does it have to do with me? Besides, the situation in the world is no longer related to family names, but all depends on the people's hearts and minds. Hey, keep grilling, I'll grill two skewers for you first, so you can taste it, you must have never eaten this before!"

"Besides, who hasn't eaten mutton?"

Li Yi chuckled, took a bunch of meat skewers, brushed them with oil and started to grill them. He took out cumin, pepper and other seasonings he brought back from Shaya from the sackcloth bag and sprinkled them on the meat skewers, and the aroma came out.

Tu Xiu looked up at Li Yi with a surprised look on his face. The latter smiled and handed over the mutton skewers, saying, "Come on, Master Tu, try our Yuezhi people's cooking skills."

Tu Xiu was a little hesitant when he received the skewers, after all, he didn't know what Li Yi had sprinkled on them. But when he saw Li Yi chewing the skewers with big mouthfuls and smacking his lips, he couldn't resist the temptation and bit off a piece and started chewing.

When the delicious taste bloomed at the tip of the fragrance and the taste buds felt new stimulation, Tu Xiu was like the style in the Chinese Cooking Master Boy, and his happiness was immediately overwhelming. "This is so delicious! What did you sprinkle it with?"

"I am the secret of the Yue clan, why should I tell you!"

Qu Xia brought some side dishes and a jar of wine, and Li Yi and Tu Xiu ate, drank and chatted.

"Master Tu, do you know anything about the demon race?"

"know."

"Why don't I quite understand the king's attitude towards Miaojiang?"

Tu Xiu replied: "Why, do you think the king's behavior is wrong?"

"That's not the case. There is no better way at the moment."

"Yeah, so Zhu Tie is the only one who doesn't know about the demon race."

"Since he can enter Tianshuyuan, he must be someone the king trusts. Why doesn't he know about it?"

"Each tribe in Miaojiang is autonomous, and when there is trouble they go to the Wu Gu Cult's branch, totally ignoring the imperial court. Zhu Tie has been in the Tianshu Academy for some years, but the situation has not changed at all. Do you think it is his problem or the Wu Gu Cult's problem?

You can see that the eradication of the Witch Cult has already been decided, but that guy is still dissatisfied. This is his problem, right? So Zhu Tie probably won't be able to come back this time."

"I guessed that. What a pity. Alas, if the Shenxi Army was still here, it wouldn't be like this. No, I just don't understand why the king would agree to the Northern Expedition! That's obviously a thankless task!"

Tu Xiu glanced at Li Yi and said contemptuously, "Anyway, it's over, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you about it. The Wu Gu Cult said that even if the Northern Expedition fails, they will push the prince to the extraordinary realm and incorporate Yizhou into the territory of Da Chu, just like Miaojiang."

"Yizhou? At this stage, Yizhou is still a barren land. Although it is vast, it is useless. Is your Majesty willing to gamble the lives of 100,000 Shenxi soldiers just for such a piece of land?"

"Kan Jin said that he would prepare a retreat route for the Shen Xi army, but you blocked this retreat route!"

"It's the same if we go through Tuyuhun!"

"Your Majesty has spent money, how can it be the same? You didn't do a good job on this matter! Even if you want to deal with the Witchcraft Cult, you can wait until the Shenxi Army comes back!"

"I just acted on impulse. Hey, how does the Wu Gu Cult plan to push the prince into the extraordinary realm? Are they going to implant a Gu worm in the prince?"

"How is that possible! Even if we use Gushu, the King will not agree!"

"Then what method?"

"The Zoroastrian priests from the Western Regions are proficient in the art of trapping and refining souls. Kan Jin improved it with witchcraft and came up with a soul-sacrificing formation, intending to use the souls of the Northern Wei soldiers and civilians to refine soul pills."

Hearing this, Li Yi secretly clenched his fists. He had not seen the souls of the Wei people on the Yellow Spring Road before. It turned out that they were trapped by them to refine soul pills! But on the surface, he still asked calmly: "Zoroastrian priest? Who is he? Maybe we know him."

"Fairy Wood Ding, Demon Wood Ji, and Ghost Wood Ren. You originally came from the Western Regions. It's not normal for you to know the Zoroastrian priests."

"I'm not familiar with those two, but I do know Xian Mu Ding."

"When he comes back, you can have a good chat."

"That's for sure." When saying this, Li Yi had already thought of how to kill Xian Mu Ding. After all, it was he who captured Yue Hua in Chu State.

After having a good meal and drinking, and seeing Tu Xiu off, Li Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air, turned around and saluted Qu Xia, saying, "My lady, we have a lot of work to do this time."

"What are you busy with?"

"The witchcraft cult's poisonous insects are out of control, and the court needs to dispatch personnel..."

"What does the Wu Gu Cult and Miaojiang incident have to do with us? You want to eradicate the Wu Gu Cult, right? This is a good opportunity. You can use this as an excuse to stir up trouble and deal with them however you want." Seeing that Li Yi did not respond, Qu Xia said unhappily, "Even if you don't want to add insult to injury, you can just ignore it, right?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Not only can we not ignore it, this time the three major families must contribute money, manpower and effort to help Miaojiang get rid of the control of the Wu Gu Cult."

"You want us to contribute money, manpower and effort? Humph, are you stupid? How could my father agree to this? Hey, what are you doing?"

Li Yi stretched out his hands and picked up Qu Xia, and said with a smile as he walked into the house: "Tonight I will teach you what it means to marry a husband and obey him! I will let you know what the husband's authority is!" As soon as the door was closed, purple air turned into mist, and what happened in this room was not allowed to be broadcast on TV.

On the day of Yi, Li Yi, who had been tossing and turning all night, slept until noon and was still asleep. Qu Xia took the clothes she had carefully selected for her husband and sat down beside the bed, saying unhappily, "Hey, how long are you going to sleep? Do you want to go back to Qu's house?"

Li Yi suddenly stood up and said in a daze, "Go back! I'm leaving now!" He got out of bed and was about to go out. Qu Xia didn't stop him. As soon as he opened the door, a cold wind blew, and Mr. Li immediately went back to bed and curled up into a ball. This time he really woke up, after all, he was too cold...

After Li Yi washed and dressed, Qu Xia took Li Yi back to her parents' home. The doorman saw his eldest daughter and her husband, and ran and shouted: "Master, Madam! The eldest daughter and her husband are back! The eldest daughter and her husband are back!"

Mrs. Qu was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, but Qu Zhi looked confused.

Qu Zhi asked in confusion: "Why did Xia'er come back out of nowhere? Could something have happened?" Seeing his wife's wide eyes, he immediately put on a smile and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and take a look! Wei Le is different now!"

Mrs. Qu glared at Qu Zhi again, and the latter said nothing more. He followed her to welcome his beloved son and the pig that had eaten the cabbage.

When they arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Qu was very concerned about her daughter, holding Qu Xia's hand, looking at her carefully from front to back, up to down, and couldn't get enough of it. Qu Zhi was chatting with Li Yi, who told his father-in-law the truth about the Northern Expedition.

Soon, relatives and elders of the family, as well as Qu Xia's brothers and sisters, all came to the main hall to see Wei Le, the Moon Worshipping Doctor.

Seeing that more and more people were watching, Qu Zhi said to Mrs. Qu, "Xia'er has only been away from home for a few days. Didn't you go to see her before? How long are you going to watch?"

Madam Qu frowned and shouted, "Shut up! No matter how high your position is or how impressive you are outside, you should behave yourself at home! My precious daughter didn't have three betrothal gifts and six gifts, or a sedan chair, or even a grand wedding for your Qu family! You still dare to show off in front of me! Believe it or not, I will fight you!"

It must be embarrassing for a great general of Western Chu to be scolded by his own wife. Li Yi stepped forward to help and said, "Father, please don't be angry. It is my incompetence that made my wife suffer for so long. I am sorry to you two elders.

Since there is no wedding ceremony, the etiquette is missing. As a Confucianist, this is indeed inappropriate. How about this, I will complete all the etiquette in front of my relatives, and ask the two elders to take their seats and accept my greetings! "

Qu Zhi waved his hand and said, "No need. You are a doctor now. You don't kneel when meeting the king. Why should you kneel to us?"
